Whistler Heli Skiing

Are you looking for the ultimate adventure this
winter? Heli skiing and heli snowboarding is an experience
of a life time not to missed. Imagine carving through untracked
powder, endless terrain, soaking in the beautiful breathtaking
backcountry scenery and all this with no lift lines!

The Pemberton and Whistler area is home to some of the
best heli skiing terrain in Canada. You will have
access to 173 glaciers and 475 runs. The heli skiing areas
include the Spearhead Range, just outside of the Whistler/Blackcomb
ski area, Ipsoot on the Pemberton Icecap and the beautiful
Tenquille Lake area. There is so much variety of terrain that
all levels of skiers and boarders are accommodated.

Whistler Heli Skiing takes skiers and snowboarder s from
intermediate to expert ability level. Skiers and
boarders are placed into groups of similar ability. Certain
packages are reserved for experts only therefore this
normally ensures that experts are grouped with other experts.
To make the powder skiing/snowboarding experience more
enjoyable, you can rent brand new powder skis from Salomon,
Rossignol and K2 and Burton powder boards including the Fish and
Barracuda.

You can heli-ski or heli snow board for one day or go
for as many days as your legs will take! There are a
variety of packages available from a 3 run package which is perfect
for intermediate skiers and boarders to a 6 run package suitable
for expert skiers. The 6 run package is suitable for groups
of up to 5 with similar abilities who are looking for a more
private experience. You will be in a Bell 407 Helicopter
which only seats 5 people. There are discounts available if
you book multi days.

All packages include a professional certiﬁed heli-ski
guide with each group, use of avalanche transceiver and
powder ski tracers, on-mountain lunch and return ground
transportation from Whistler Village. Lunch is made by the fabulous
Bearfoot Bistro catering team including items such as the popular
daily soup and tea. A professional photographer will also
join your group for one of your runs and film you in action!

After your amazing day skiing or riding, you will enjoy
après at the Bearfoot Bistro in the Listel Hotel and watch the
video! The video plays at least twice for everyone's
enjoyment, so make sure you invite your friends and family to join
you there. The video and photos are available to
purchase.

This year Whistler Heli Skiing will be operating from
December 3 to April 22, 2012. For more information, please
